State Farm Asked Employees to Donate Transgender Books Aimed at Young Children, Watchdog Group Says

The Epoch Times Header

Auto and home insurance giant State Farm has encouraged hundreds of employees to donate books promoting transgenderism to young children to their local schools and libraries, according to an email leaked by a whistleblower.

The email, obtained by nonprofit organization Consumersโ€™ Research, states that the company partnered with transgender youth advocacy group The GenderCool Project in a campaign โ€œto help diversify classroom, community center, and library bookshelvesโ€ with a collection of books centered on the โ€œnational conversation about Being Transgender, Inclusive and Non-Binary.โ€

โ€œThe projectโ€™s goal is to increase representation of LGBTQ+ books and support our communities in having challenging, important and empowering conversations with children Age 5+,โ€ Jose Soto, a corporate responsibility analyst for State Farm in Florida, wrote in the email dated Jan. 18.

One of the three books The GenderCool Project sought to promote is โ€œA Kids Book About Being Transgender,โ€ which encourages readers as young as 5 to โ€œshake off whatever confusion, skepticism, concern, or biases you may haveโ€ about โ€œtransgender kids.โ€ The book suggests that a childโ€™s feeling that he or she is of a different gender should be validated rather than challenged, arguing that feelings sometimes โ€œwork more like our intuition or insightโ€ that โ€œallow us to understand something without having to think about it.โ€

โ€œOne day I look up โ€˜boy who feels like girlโ€™ and found stories of people who were just like me,โ€ the book reads. โ€œThatโ€™s the first time I heard the word transgender. I realized I wasnโ€™t alone. The feeling I had been a girl finally made sense.โ€

In the email, Soto asked for six State Farm insurance agents in Florida to volunteer to participate in the program by โ€œreceiving these books in March, then donating them to their community by the end of April.โ€
